We all have {or at least I hope for each of you} that one friend that just gets us. The one we can be completely honest with, tell all of the embarrassing and nasty secrets and realities, let them see us at our worst. The one we can giggle with all-night-long, speak without talking, and pick up right where we left off no matter how long it's been...
Well, my person is named Rachel. And I adore her. And today happens to be her birthday--whoop!
This lady right here {and her boys} is family that I got to choose. She is one of the toughest cookies on the block who tells it like it is and does what she has to to get the job done. She's hilarious, honest, and pretty much the most adorable and beautiful person I know. And as if all that wasn't great enough, she's a Jesus girl, and that really trumps anything else on any list. We just fit.
Here she is at her toughest, loving on her beautiful second son who has had the deck stacked against him for a long time and he just keeps fighting right through it all. He's a warrior! The strength and faith, peace and resolve that she has lived during these past five weeks fighting for her little boy leaves me speechless...
So here's to you, dearest friend! I hope this birthday brings you a great appreciation of the life you have led--you're pretty incredible. I hope you get pampered and spoiled and reminded of how loved you are. I hope you have the chance to relax and rest. I hope it is simply marvelous! Happiest of happies--happy birthday!
xoxo, angie
